Jess Kease / 23rd Key
About the artist
Jess began creating work in 2005, first exhibiting her work in 2008 predominantly under the pseudonym 23rd Key. She creates photo-realistic stencils and hand-painted works. She has a background studying printmaking, graphic design, audio engineering and architecture. In recent years she has adapted to installing and hand-painting large-scale mural works without the use of stencils.
I grew up in Albert Park, undertaking primary school in the area and only moving away for a few years, as I now live in St Kilda. I've spent more time living, working and plying in City of Port Phillip than any other municipality in the state, essentially growing up here.
